Temperatures will drop throughout Tuesday as the strong westerly wind veers to the north-west dragging in raw, colder air which the Met Office says will feel like -9C at Princetown in Devon. Some gusts will be gale force and disruption is possible with Yellow warnings of dangerously high winds across the county.

Snow in Devon - it's official!

The severe weather warnings have been put in place by the Met Office for snow, ice and strong winds.

Yellow wind warning between 21:00 Wed 17th and 13:00 Thu 18th

Forecaster Eleanor Bell, of The Weather Channel, said: “It will be a very cold start across Britain with temperatures below freezing widely across the north and close to freezing for central and southern areas.

“However, it will be the evening when the temperatures reach their lowest as the westerly winds veer north-westerly dragging in colder air from the north.

“A deep area of low pressure centred to the north will drive a showery and blustery west to north-westerly wind throughout the day with the showers falling as snow down to ground level for Scotland and parts of Ireland with a mixture of rain and snow for north-west England and Wales.”

Another deep low will approach Ireland late on Wednesday and move eastwards over Britain overnight into Thursday.
